(Results-Only Work Environment) An approach to managing employees from CultureRx (
In a ROWE, there is no set time or place. Employees work when and where they wish as long as the work gets done. Obviously, this is not for sales clerks at retail counters, who must always be present; however, flextime, telecommuting and mobile technologies can turn countless 9-to-5 jobs into a results-only environment. See telecommuting.

ROWE - Results Only Work Environment is a human resource management strategy co-created by Jody Thompson and Cali Ressler[1] wherein employees are paid for results (output) rather than the number of hours worked.[2] Cali and Jody [1], who originally proposed the strategy at Best Buy, have since started a consulting group called CultureRx[1].[3] The strategy has subsequently been implemented at a second large American retailer, Gap.[3], as well as the Girl Scouts of San Gorgino, J.A. Counter and Associates, and the Fairview Health Services I.T. Department.[4]
